    Niro 6.1 (with 2 speakers) [ad in S&V]

    I've seen ads for this new two speaker 6.1 system from Niro. The ad has some good quotes from some good sources. Questions: Has anyone heard this unit? Does anyone have links to the *full* reviews? If you have no idea what I'm talking about, go to Niro TWO6.1 . It's basically a HTIB...

    Question about portable DVD players

    Hi! I did a bit more research and found a great link: http://www.samsungusa.com/images/pro...00_compare.jpg Taking into account it is on Samsung's web site, it seems to be a great comparison of all 3 portable DVD players I'm interested in. I wasn't aware the Samsung had Faroudja...

    Anyone know when the Integra 5.3 will be available?

    Hi, Does anyone have any info on when the Integra 5.3 will be available? It sounds the same as the Onkyo 600, but I'm sure there must be some differences...

    Anyone have a VTF-2 near their TV?

    Hsu's website says the VTF-2 is magnetically shielded, but I'd really like some real world comments on this statement. The sub is going to be placed in the corner of our living room, right behind our 32" TV (which sits on a tv stand, so technically the sub will be behind the 20" high tv...

    How critical is *adjustable* DPL II to you?

    Hi, I'm considering a Sherwood Newcastle receiver for my HT, and the only 'feature' it seems to be lacking is adjustable settings for DPL II. How big of a drawback is this to anyone? What are the DPL II settings in the Sherwood Newcastle's fixed at? Thanks.

    Has anyone had problems with 6.1? (localization)

    Hi, I'm planning out my first HT. It'll be relatively modest. I plan on going with 6.1. I'm wondering if anyone has had any issues with a single rear speaker? I know it is possible in theory for the localization of the sound from the single rear speaker to come from in front of the...

    8ohm and 4ohm speakers mixed together?

    I'm thinking of getting 7.1 speakers. The front LCR will be 4ohm, while the 4 surrounds will be 8ohm. All 7 have power handling of 100 watts. BTW, the LCR are Gallo Due's and the surrounds are Gallo Micro's. I've heard that many mid-range receivers have trouble driving 4ohm speakers. Is...

    Semi-transparent drivers? (what are they)

    Hi, I've been researching the Anthony Gallo Micro's for my HT. I emailed them about freq. range since their website is unclear. One portion says bottom is 120hz, another page says bottom is 80hz. The sales support at Gallo replied saying the Micros (which are about 2 years old) have been...

    How low can surround speakers be placed?

    Hi, I'm planning on buying either 2 or 4 Anthony Gallo Micro's to use in my HT setup. The problem is I don't really have a great spot for them. :frowning: Gallo makes stands for the speakers that are 3 feet high. That would put them just at ear level. Is that too low for side and/or rear...

    Anthony Gallo speakers anyone?

    Hi, Does anyone here have any experience with Anthony Gallo speakers? Either the Micros or new Dues? I want great sounding, small, stylish speakers for the HT in my small condo in San Francisco, and these seem to fit the bill. Found a couple of places here that carry them and will go check...

    Potentially dumb question... (widescreen tv shows)

    Hi, Forgive me if this is asinine but... Am I correct in assuming the picture being broadcast is still "full screen". ie-the black bars are being sent as part of the picture? I have a DTV set that does 480p. I'm wondering if I would gain anything buy getting a STB to pick up OTA DTV...

    Anyone else still using a Toshiba SD-5109? I've had one for about 1.5 years now and I still love it. I'm wondering if anyone else have ever found a difference between the 4:3 and 4:3LB (Letter Box) screen modes? I still haven't been able to..
